big toes
one foot
on the ground
the other
standing on
a pedestal
top of the foot
jutting out of the pedestal
both feet
standing
on little platforms
in the shape
of the feet
very long arms
his left hand
holding up a ball
with the right hand
making a gesture
but all fingers
are missing
another piece
of stone
supporting
the weight
of the ball
probably
it could not hold
itself
long coat
muscle shapes shining
trough the coat
a seam the length of the thigh
connecting
the upper and the lower part of the figure
unreadable
Edding tags
in red and black
on his right knee
a woman positioning herself
in front
leaning her arms onto his toes
a boy
watching her
holding a Nordsee food box
a man
taking photos
of her
and the statue
backside:
pedestal with varying heights
standing on another pedestal
embedded
in the ground
a figure sitting on the upper pedestal
on the left
the sole of his
left foot
bulging folds
big round back
simplified curly hair
half bald
scratch marks
from the tool
almost no erosion visible
frontside:
figure
bigger than human size
thinkers pose
balding
one hand touching his chin
the other hand holding a book
lying upside down on his bended knee
unidentifiable object
between the book and his hand
exiting veins
being visible on his hands
unclear if he is wearing shoes
or not
something
in between
hint of a shoe
but the structure
of his feet
still visible
PARACELSUS
written on the frontside of the pedestal
on the right side
in smaller letters
THORAK
little cracks in his head
spider nets being highlighted by the sun
me sitting on the pedestal
bandaging the marble with plaster
people passing by
asking several things
children’s yoga class
surrounding me
what are you doing there?
are you removing the tags?
why are you doing that?
2 old men
they think I am repairing the monument
what happened to the fingers?
nice sculpture
good old kopernikus
a woman with her little daughter
both wearing dirndl dresses
what are you doing?
do you have a permission to do that?
